First, let me start out by saying, I'm not new to snakes. I've read the forums on not eating. I've even responded on a few on another forum I'm on. I've waited a week before offering food. I don't hold him much unless its to check his belly from the yolk sack being open. Hot side is 85 cool around 78. Humidity is around 60. He is in a tub.

Now, I got him on May 19. Today was the third feed attempt. We've tried about every 5-7 days. Minimal holding. His belly was still open from the yolk sack, was told he ate, but I don't think he has yet. First, I tried a pinky bc of the open area didn't want to stretch it open further. That has since almost closed up. Tried a rat pup last time didn't eat. Left it in there for 2-3 hours nothing. Tonight I tried a fuzzy. I even brained it. He doesn't even act interested. Is there anything you would suggest to get him to eat?? I'm awfully worried at this point because he is a baby.

Another thing, his tub is opaque so I can see in there. He is in our bedroom so not a lot of traffic. However, usually (like my 6 other snakes) will use thier tongue flicks. I have NOT seen him do this. Ever. I don't want to pry his mouth open to look but I'm worried.

We were recommended this breeder by a friend. They said he was great. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to give all the info I could. This is my first baby baby snake as I have never bred and bought mine at least 12 weeks old. Thanks for reading.
